Ampersand Example

This example simply looks at an alternative approach to organising an Ampersand application. I personally dislike having all of the application views, models, etc organised into single folders. I prefer instead to structure applications into small modules based on functionality e.g. login, home, etc. An interesting post by @hij1nx demonstates that Node's require algorithm can applied to any directory called node_modules, not just the one at the root of your project, led me to re-structure an Ampersand application (based on the Ampersand examples). Thanks to @simmelj and his blog post for the inspiration.

Notes

1. All modules are organised into src/node_modules.
2. Each module contains a directory for it's templates.
3. Each module contains a directory for it's styles.
4. Each module contains a package.json (see here for explanation).
5. moonbootsConfig.js contains updated templatizer logic to process templates stored in different module locations (globbing would be nice :P).
6. Global Stylus styles are organised into src/styles.
7. Static assets are organised into src/assets.
